Ingredients

for meatballs
16 ounces ground turkey
1 cup soft breadcrumbs, use whole wheat
2 tablespoons green peppers, minced
2 tablespoons macadamia nuts, finely chopped
1 egg, beaten
1 teaspoon fresh cilantro, minced
1/8 teaspoon salt
vegetable oil cooking spray
for tropical sauce
1 medium mango, peeled, seeded, coarsely chopped
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1/2 cup water
2 tablespoons lime juice
2 tablespoons teriyaki sauce
1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
1/4 teaspoon lime rind, grated

Preparation

For the meatballs, combine the turkey and the next 6 ingredients, mixing well.
Shape mixture into 24, 1-inch, meatballs.
Arrange on a rack or a roasting pan that has been sprayed with cooking spray.
Bake at 400\u00b0F for 12 minutes or until meatballs are browned.
While the meatballs are in the oven, make the sauce by placing the mango in a blender and process until smooth.
Combine cornstarch and sugar in a small saucepan and add the pureed mango, water and remaining ingredients.
Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until thickened. This yields 1 1/2 cups sauce.
Serve meatballs in a chafing dish with the sauce.
